5 Things You Don’t Know About the WSOP Online on GGPoker
Now through the first part of September, the WSOP Online will be exclusively on GGPoker, so whether you're playing on the client for the first time or you're a seasoned online pro, we thought we'd bring you five things you didn't know about the WSOP Online on GGPoker.
- 1. STAKING on DAY 2:
Poker fans and players can now buy a piece of their favourite player's action or sell their own should they survive Day 1 of phased tournaments. - 2. Convert Multiple Event Tickets into T$
After the series has finished, your unused tickets will be exchanged for T$ that you can use to enter any tournament on GGPoker - 3. Pick Your Own WSOP Event
When the WSOP Online schedule on GGPoker was announced, the poker community was intrigued to see a new type of bracelet event announced! Three 'People's Choice' events were announced, with the formats and buy-ins yet to be announced. - 4. Best Stack Forward
Any player that makes it to the end of a Day 1 with a stack is allowed to take part in additional Day 1s if they want to, providing they have not exceeded the maximum number of re-entries.
However, if a player finishes multiple Day 1s with chips, only the highest chip stack will go to Day 2. - 5. Take Advantage of Bubble Protection
GGPoker's popular Bubble Protection is available throughout the WSOP Online. It's available for all non-phase events with buy-ins less than $999. This means that if you register before the start of play and go on to bubble the tournament, you'll receive your buy-in back.

"Messi" Finds Success at the Tables
It's not been the best of weeks for FC Barcelona and Lionel Messi, to say the least. At least one fan of the Argentinian striker has some of his sorrows soothed, as "Messi" has already racked up five bounties to soar to 145k.
"Messi" delivered a clinical finish in a recent hand against Brian Rast and Robin "Kabuzzi" Berggren to gain the majority of it. Berggren was all in for just 1,094 preflop and Brian Rast and "MESSI" saw a flop together.
On a 
board, "Messi" check-shoved all in and Rast called off for about 60,000 total.
Brian Rast: 
"Messi": 
"Messi" finished it in style with a 
on the turn for quads, making the 
a mere formality.
